Perfectly Frozen Basil Lemonade

To create basil simple syrup: In a small sauce pan over
medium-high heat combine sugar, water and basil leaves. Bring to a boil
and cook until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool
to room temperature. Strain basil leaves and place basil simple syrup
in a mason jar.

In a blender combine ice, lemon juice and basil simple syrup. Blend until fine consistency is reached. Serve in a glass garnished with basil leaves.
